A measurement process that evaluates how security is embedded in an organization's behavior, attitudes, and norms beyond just policy compliance. Assessments use surveys, behavioral metrics (phishing simulation results, incident reporting rates, policy exception requests), and qualitative interviews to score security culture across dimensions like awareness, responsibility, and compliance. Results identify where culture is strong and where interventions are needed.
Organizations with strong security cultures have fewer incidents regardless of their technology stack. CISOs use culture assessments to demonstrate security program effectiveness to boards. GRC analysts design and administer these assessments. Security awareness officers use results to target training investments. This metric helps security leaders quantify something traditionally considered intangible.
